What is recorded here

According to the National Museum of Ireland correspondence registers (1A/30/60) there were 4 or 5 fulachtaí fia in the townland. 'One was partly removed by a bulldozer - 50ft [15.2m] diameter and 7-8ft [2.1-2.4m] high nothing came to light except burnt earth, stone and small pieces of charcoal. Bottom of mound (1-2ft [0.3-0.6m) remains' (ibid.). These are unlocated within the townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
